Here is a list (by no means conclusive!) of things that have brought me joy this weekend:
- beautiful, warm, California weather at the end of October
- rocking out to my favorite tunes on my iPod while cleaning up my kitchen
- the old gentleman I pass almost every day on my run, who is always out working in his garage, smoking his pipe, and who greets me with a warm, big smile every time I pass him (today, I actually interrupted my run to chat with him for a minute, rather than just wave and shout a greeting in passing... it's good to take time to slow down in life every once in a while!)
- playing with my friend's adorable little kittens last night and remembering the joy I experienced as a little girl when I got to hold a purring cat
- discovering a great new sushi restaurant and savoring a lovely dinner with friends
- all the inspiring people in my life
- entertaining dinner guests with my husband
- my wonderful friends and family
- working in a field I am passionate about
- all the incredible people I've met and continue to meet along my way
- the few moments just before dinner guests arrive, when everything is clean and neat and delicious smells come wafting from the kitchen
- the satisfaction I get from having cleaned everything up at the end of a dinner party and going to bed knowing I will wake up to a clean kitchen
- you, for reading my blog and giving me a purpose for writing it!
